Play Mask, The (Beta) Online
You play as Stanley (or his chaotic green alter ego) tossing cartoon hammers and warping reality with glitchy power-ups—it’s janky, unfinished, and weirdly hypnotic in that way only ‘90s betas can be.
Mask, The (Beta) was an unreleased Super Nintendo Entertainment System game from 1995, developed by Black Pearl Software. It appeared during a time when licensed platformers were common, and this one stood out for its rough edges and unfinished state, typical of many beta builds that never reached store shelves.
You control Stanley Ipkiss, who can transform into the chaotic Mask by picking up the wooden artifact. The main goal involves navigating side scrolling levels, defeating enemies with exaggerated cartoon weapons like giant mallets or explosive charges. Signature mechanics include reality bending power ups that cause screen distorting visual effects, and the ability to switch between Stanley's cautious movement and the Mask's unpredictable, overpowered antics. The pacing is uneven, with some sections feeling rushed or glitchy, and the difficulty can spike unexpectedly due to unpolished enemy behavior. Playing it feels like stumbling through a chaotic, half finished cartoon where anything might break at any moment.
